College Color Index

<p>I wanted to make it easier for us to buy high school graduation gifts (rolls of colored gaffers tape) for my daughter’s friends, color-specific to their college, so I started compiling a list, got carried away, and figured I would share it.</p>

<p>I used information that was compiled by someone else (Fashion-Hound.com), so there may be errors; I haven’t checked all of them yet.</p>

<p>The key difference is that I also want to track Pantone/CMYK and RGB colors, when it’s available. You can view and filter via the attached (altho you cannot edit or add new data)</p>

<p>post here with additions or edits… or if anyone is interested in co-editing the file</p>

<p>PS - let me know if you do not have the drop-down filters at the top of each column</p>

<p>Dartmouth’s color is not white, it is green. Additions: Bowdoin is white (And black, sometimes. Their mascot is the polar bear.). Bates is garnet. (They are very picky about this! :slight_smile: )The University of Chicago is maroon. Wellesley is blue and white.</p>

<p>@Consolation - I have Dartmouth listed as Green and also as white</p>

<p>Any school that has multiple colors is listed on more than one row; use the drop down filters at the top of each tab to select a single school.</p>

<p>When I filter for Dartmouth, I get two rows: one for green and one for white.</p>

<p>thanks for the others</p>

<p>For additional schools, please also tell me the state that the college is located in.</p>

<p>Fun.
Massachusetts, Tuft Univerity, brown and blue</p>

<p>From their website
The official Tufts colors are a dark brown and a sky blue as prescribed by the Pantone color specification system (or the Pantone Matching System of “PMS” numbers). They are Brown PMS 4625 and Blue PMS 279. Other browns and blues should be avoided.</p>

<p>Even though Harvard’s color is crimson, the actual shade that is used for regalia and stationary is closer to burgundy, i.e., a cadmium red dark pigment mixed with a little black.</p>

<p>Great idea, mtpaper. Hendrix College (Conway, Arkansas) colors are black and orange (#E96B10).</p>

<p>More info on the University of Chicago:</p>

<p>Our signature color is a maroon that matches Pantone® 202 U. It is supported by two grays—a dark gray (Pantone Warm Gray 11 U) and a light gray (Pantone Cool Gray 3 U).</p>

<p>Those grays are not school colors, just supporting tones for publications. [Color&lt;/a&gt; Palette | The University of Chicago](<a href=“Communications | University of Chicago”>Communications | University of Chicago)</p>
